Car for 18-year-old son
I wondered what the best car would be and how much it would be to insure for my 18 year old son.
He he passed his test 2 days after his 17th and has also got an HGV licence. I would like one (doesn't have to be new) which would not cost a lot to insure him as the named driver. He would only be driving it to/from stables when he is at uni and then home when he comes home for a few weekends/holidays. During the day it will mainly not be driven.
